(Dobbs) Thoughts & Prayers Haven't Fixed It
A compendium of shootings in just a matter of hours across America.

Then I got back and, as a lifelong newsman, checked again. Here are the new stories that popped up:

All in the space of a bike ride.
But don’t worry, everyone’s going to be alright. The politicians who don’t lift a finger to stop this madness send their thoughts and prayers.
Over almost five decades Greg Dobbs has been a correspondent for two television networks including ABC News, a political columnist for The Denver Post and syndicated columnist for Scripps newspapers, a moderator on Rocky Mountain PBS, and author of two books, including one about the life of a foreign correspondent called “Life in the Wrong Lane.” He has covered presidencies, politics, and the U.S. space program at home, and wars, natural disasters, and other crises around the globe, from Afghanistan to South Africa, from Iran to Egypt, from the Soviet Union to Saudi Arabia, from Nicaragua to Namibia, from Vietnam to Venezuela, from Libya to Liberia, from Panama to Poland. Dobbs has won three Emmys, the Distinguished Service Award from the Society of Professional Journalists, and as a 37-year resident of Colorado, a place in the Denver Press Club Hall of Fame.
Yeah... i’m so grateful for their thoughts and prayers... must be a phrase from the NRA obsequious beneficiary handbook.
Thanks Greg
👍 Myself and a friend here in Vail both gave up our paid lifetime memberships to the NRA in the late 70’s due to the leadership’s opposition to banning dum dum and armor piercing bullets. Just insanity!
